Everton Transfer Thread - Summer 2020

[catcherintherye]

Our recruitment needs an entire revamp though. Id far rather see young hungry players from the championship than overpaid mercenaries looking for a comfortable final pay day.

I'd happily see us not buy one player from the Premier league this summer. Richarlison about the only time we got it right and there's about 10 examples where it went wrong.

There are decent players in the championship too. A lad at Reading, Swift, will probably go for 3.5 million. Never going to be a world beater, but to me much better than our midfielders minus Gomes.

Players like him are rugged, theyve had 150+ games in the English system. Sometimes I think we miss a trick a little.

Just people blowing off steam I guess. The world is a crap place at the moment and we need Everton to brighten things up a little (especially after a particularly garbage season)

Relying on Everton to lift your mood isn't the best situation to be in like

Does anyone know what the total of Brands signings are and for how much.?
How many are still here and what are they worth now.?

I'm not against caste offs and infact am broadly in favour. However I'd also state, Calvert Lewin, Holgate are probably right up there too, along with Gueye. Only 2 of that list are caste offs.

My big concern with caste offs, is are we judging the character well enough? Are we looking at why the player didnt make it at his previous team, and whether he has the hunger to do it at his next team. In my view, Schneiderlin, Iwobi, Walcott etc seem to really lack that to me.

If I'm honest I'd recruit a few more from the championship. Get some lads in for who this is their biggest club and have a gratitude to be here, and hopefully that will toughen us a little.

Overall though, I agree. Theres no easy and simple rule. We just need better recruitment full stop.

Yes agree you need a mix of players and to look at mentality look at Cahill one of our best players of recent times he had the mentality to fight. It's also buying with an idea of how they fit together. Look at our midfield for example too many players of a similiar skill set.

Just realised any player who sign from overseas will have to do a 14 day quarantine.

I think that coupled with a shortened preseason = a lot of damp sheets this window

Only from Spain?

Lucas Digne - £18m
Yerry Mina - £27m
Richarlison - £35m
Fabian Delph - £8m
Andre Gomes - £22m
Jean-Phillipe Gbamin - £22m
Moise Kean - £25m
Alex Iwobi - £27m
Bernard - Free
Lossl - Free

Total - £184m

What they are worth now is highly debatable

No signings = no club redundancies.

Sounds good to me, sure all Blues will agree.

Would rather sign no one and struggle than sack or furlough tonnes of staff to announce a new signing

That seems to be a lot better than I thought it was.
Thanks for the info.
What about Walsh record then, was it better.?

Digne and Richarlison probably make it look flattering to be fair

Anyone think that Ancelotti will hold sway over brands in any new signings.?

Out of those I'd say Digne, Mina, and Richarlison have all been good signings. Juries out on Gomes, Gbamin, and Kean. Iwobi looks like a bad signing.

Not sure where I would put Bernard, think he's got a lot of quality, despite his recent form, but doesn't ever seem to do enough or get a consistent run in the team.

Joint decision on primary options for sure.
